West Indies decor is more than a nautical palette. To evoke island chic, integrate some natural fibers such as wicker, rattan and bamboo. Use baskets as storage or lighting, and add shells and coral as accessories. A touch of hand-printed batik pattern, and hanging lanterns bring a throw-caution-to-the-wind feel.

They can have flecks of other dye colors, looped yarns and what appear to be runs. This is the inherent beauty of a completely handwoven and dyed fabric. Also, the exact dimensions of the pillow covers may vary slightly from the stated ones. $24 – $120.
